WHO WE ARE
Since 1996, almost 30 years, the Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) of the First Unitarian Universalist Church Society of San Francisco, a Chapter organization of CUUPS, has been meeting for monthly Full Moon Rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, and for the solar pagan holidays of Winter Solstice and Beltane. We are an open circle dedicated to providing ritual space for all respectful families and individuals of any age. Our policy requires that our rituals are clean and sober, drugs, alcohol, fragrance and animal free. Individuals who rely on an animal companion are welcome but will need to secure their animal away from the the ritual room/space.

Upcoming
A Harvest Soup for the Harvest Moon!
​​
The Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) Invites You to Join Us in Making a Magical Harvest Soup. We Gather in the Chapel This Saturday, October 4th, 2025, at 6:45 P.M.
​
October’s Full Moon, falling on October 6, 2025, this year, is the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox (September 22), so it is called the Harvest Moon. Unlike other full moons, it rises about the same time for several nights, providing extended evening light. Historically, this extra illumination helped farmers complete their harvests before autumn nights turned cold.
​
And this year’s Harvest Moon is a Supermoon as well! It will appear bigger, brighter, and more golden than any other full moon this year.
The Pagan Interest Circle loves to celebrate the new autumnal season by creating our vegetarian version of stone soup. We each bring a soup ingredient that represents our own personal harvest, what we have manifested this year, or what gift we can offer our community.
​
Please bring:
-any grain
-small-size vegetable, sliced thin or parboiled if a root vegetable
-cooked beans
​
Herbs, salt, and pepper for seasoning
You might want to bring a leak-proof container so you can take some magical soup home.
Finger food to share after the ritual is always welcome!
